unmanaged file When you copy or export a file, Final Cut Server creates an
unmanaged copy of the file. The unmanaged file cannot be edited and checked back in
to update the original asset. If you want to track an unmanaged file in Final Cut Server,
you must upload it and create a new asset. See managed file.
version Final Cut Server can be configured to retain previous versions of selected
assets, making it possible to restore an earlier version if needed. If you check out an
asset from the Final Cut Server catalog, make a change to it, and check it back in,
Final Cut Server first copies the current version to the version device and then copies
the new version to where the current version was.
Xsan An Apple Xsan storage area network (SAN) is a device that provides fast access to
